Can You Identify This Mysterious Kitchen Tool?

Q: I was recently cleaning out my kitchen and I came across this wiry mystery device. I'm wondering if anyone has any clue what it is. The metal pieces are rigid and not flexible at all. Could it possibly be meant to attach to something else? Is it used on its own? Thanks in advance!

Editor: I've never seen anything quite like that before. It reminds me of the top of a whisk, although they're generally more flexible. I'm totally stumped.

Readers, do you have any idea what this mystery tool from Lois' kitchen is?
